Leave your thoughts about The Death of Mr. Lazarescu.
| Film ThreatKJ DoughtonIf you love adventurous cinema, [Cristi] Puiu's transcendent, unique foray into the culture of health care is a must-see. |
| Entertainment InsidersJanos Gereben"Extraordinary" is used here in both meanings of the word: highly unusual and exceptional. |
| Film Journal InternationalLewis BealeThe gradual accumulation of detail, the quotidian elements of the long night, eventually add up to a powerful and engrossing whole. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperThe film feels very real and not a little scary since the viewer knows that he is very likely to eventually likely to share Lazarescu's fate. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordPuiu is playful with his symbolism, as evidenced by his titular character's triple-loaded name, but his really astounding achievement is how he transforms commonplace scenes with shimmering alternate meaning. |
| VoxAlissa WilkinsonWhat [the film] does best is take all that frustration and put it into one man's story. As he suffers, we feel his pain and irritation by proxy. That kind of humanity is often missing from debates about policy - but there's nothing more important. |
| musicOMH.comAnton Bitelblending social commentary with spiritual allegory, it traces one man's nocturnal descent into the Circle of Hell that is Romania's healthcare service |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsStay with it and you'll discover a devastatingly powerful blast at red tape and an achingly moving examination of what we will all have to face one day. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter Canavese[The] uniquely Eastern European brand of absurdity recalls the work of Vaclav Havel, playwright and former President of Czechoslovakia. At least, it would be absurd if it weren't so credible. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyThe Death of Mr. Lazarescu would seem to give its plot away with its title. But, as the movie itself demonstrates, not everything is as it first seems. |
